Can my ED be treated?
Lifestyle changes such as reducing alcohol intake, quitting or cutting down on smoking, avoiding the use of illegal or recreational drugs, becoming more physically active, and reducing your stress levels can all play a part in helping treat ED.4
When this isn’t enough
Speak with your doctor or qualified pharmacist about the different treatment options which may be available to you. One of these is Vedafil, which has been proven to help men with ED of various causes by increasing blood flow to the penis so you can get and keep an erection hard enough for a satisfying sexual encounter. Vedafil usually starts to work within 30 – 60 minutes when sexually aroused, so you can take it when you need it.6
Vedafil is an oral tablet that comes in three strengths, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg. Vedafil can only be taken once a day.6
Only your GP or pharmacist can decide if Vedafil is right for you. Be sure to tell your healthcare professional about all of the medications you are taking and any other medical conditions as your dose may need to be adjusted to suit your needs.
